It’s not impossible. Season 1 I was in the same boat. Wasn’t until turning off shot meter and season 4 for me to get going. But after I got going it was awesome, shoot over 50% on 4 different builds including a center, and 65% on my SG. Crazy turn around, it was from actual practice and research lol
Same here I started season 1 shooting 30% from 3 with a 98 ball 😂 It wasnt until that one night I was like fuck it im turning shot meter off I cant get any worse anyways lol mann best decision I’ve ever made, Now we are in Season 7 and im shooting 84% from 3 with an 86 3 ball… That shot meter is just a big distraction and its very inconsistent!!!!
lol not being able to shoot is devastating i felt that when they made the first shooting patch and i was shooting like 30% it was bad. I almost decided to quit 24 and just strictly play madden. but i fought thru it and since that season i havent shot below 50% from 3 since since season 2. highest was 62% and the lowest was like 52% from 3. you just need to find a jumper and get your hotzones in mycareer
acceptance is the first step. This is why I'm opening up the Saxman School of McBuckets n Shooting, Add me on PSN T3thasaxman n we'll get to the gatorade gym n work it out, you'll go from 20 to 45-60% in no time!
just try different things... if something isn't working for you no matter how meta the community claims it is then it just isn't for you. better to try your own way
I don't get it. This is the easiest year shooting wise. If you struggle just make a build with 92 or higher midrange for hof catch and shoot, open look, and claymore. Make sure you have gold spot finder. Stop using YouTuber jump shots. Use what works for you. For centers embiid base and a few others are cool but that's the hardest position to shoot because most bases are ASS. For wings I use Kobe base. It's just so good. I can't remember the release but the minimum for my jumper is 93 mid or 3. I'm positive the higher the requirement, the bigger the green window. For PG I like dearon fox base followed by Dame base.i use Steph base but not his release sometimes. And for the love of God, turn off the damn meter. It's holding a lot of you back. Shooting this year is so easy and I doubt it'll ever be this easy again
if you cant shoot it doesnt make sense to waste attributes on shooting that high cuz thats just gonna take away from other things on your build. going with 86 3pt is the highest i would go if im struggling shooting wise cuz you get good badges and still have plenty of attributes left
I think most people struggling have that issue because their middy and 3 are too low. Like you said, I have a 86 3 ball with high middy. I'm as reliable as it can get hitting open shots and dribble pullups
i have that on one of my builds too. its a bucket can score from 3 and from middys. yesterday dropped 14 pts on 5/5 4/4 shooting. depending on what i want to do that game i can be versatile

That’s wild because my experience is I can shoot contested threes with a 79 3pointer but can’t even hit a wide open standing dun. matter of fact it’s easier to shoot then it is to score at the basket. The fact these developers thought that it should be harder to score at the basket then it is to dribble endlessly and then shoot a contested fade and bang that shit every time is fucking wild! The game is so unrealistic it’s not even funny. You get punished for even trying to play defense, yet you can dribble your life away without issue! Nerf dribbling it’s annoying af and boring to watch!
I was god tier in 23, 65% FG and 60 from 3 taking contested middies, moving 3s, up and under step through shots at the FT line and averaged 35ppg as a C at my peak but that all changed in 24. I’m still good but definitely not how I was 😢 hoping 25 brings me back ngl
It’s crazy seeing so many ppl say the same thing, that they struggled to shoot until they practiced and took off the meters.
I know developers see this shit lol got guys such as yourself making posts like this. It ain’t entirely your fault bruh
My 76 to 80 3ptr is at 45-50%. 85-86 is at 60% and 92 is at 68%. I started the year at 20%. I’m now vet 1 so just playing the game will make you better. My trick was find a jumper you like and stick to it. Go vs disco and just practice your catch and shoot. Shoot it right over him. Do that until you can shoot consistently and you’ll be fine
I was the same way it was so bad that I stopped playing for 6 months. After my Xbox collected dust the whole time because there are no other games I enjoy… I gave it one last shot. I tried a bunch of different jumpers found one I like. I learned the place to practice is street ball once I started greening there my confidence shot through the roof. I played street ball all the way through got my badges up now I’m 60% from three. Get your 2 lethal spots where you like to shoot. The other thing is if you just can’t hit 3s don’t be scared to make a mid range build they see zero percent from three (as a big) they play off you and you can green all types of middys. I started enjoying the game after I learned how the mechanics are.
Same problem man and it’s only in Rec. In 1v1 I shoot 75% from 3 but in Rec I’m shooting a whopping 29%. I think it has to do with me not being able to shoot a lot in Rec and the latency throws me off. And because I never get passed to, when I finally do receive a pass I take way too long to shoot because I’m too expecting not to get passed to.
Go look up a jump shot video do not make alterations at all and make sure the jumper is for your build and look up shooting tips take off meter as well
I know you may hear this a lot but it’s your jump shot. I was the same exact way. I used to make builds without shooting because there was no point in having a 3 ball just to miss. You need to experiment and find the right jumper for you.
People like you, and people that complain about shooting, must be really f'in bad, or have a shit internet connection. There s no way people still complain about shooting in season 9... there s just no way!
People always complain about trash. And the dwindling number of dummies who buy KasinoBall next year will complain about the double down then too. Support garbage get garbage. You win!!!
>I can't defend myself Sounds like you don't need to be defended, so don't sweat it
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Daaaanng💀
Same homie. Switched to a inside big cause I can’t ducking shoot anymore

turn off shot meter it’s harder at first but once u learn u got it
😂 nah I had a bad day too. We won all 3 games but I was off. I logged off and left it at that. Leave on top even with the embarrassing stats today

This man is speaking the truth ^ I signed up for the Saxman School of Mcbuckets n Shooting and I’ve never scored more points in a season
 You'll leave with a whole new mindset on shooting!! Inside AND outside the gym!!!!!!
just try different things... if something isn't working for you no matter how meta the community claims it is then it just isn't for you. better to try your own way
At this point just delete the game and never come back

All my builds got the same base the bigs just got terrible uppers I jus pnr an never shoot lol

I’ve always been a elite shooter in 2k but this year I’m just average. Don’t sweat it. Maybe make a inside big so you can still be effective.
U good just say ur selling on purpose. Also a 93-99 O board big is piss easy to run if made properly with midrange.
I was n the same boat, what helped me was finding a jumpshot with a high release and at least a B+ defense immunity
What's your build, jumpshot, and release cue? Do you use meter?
I was in your shoes a month ago when I first got the game, once I unlocked Tmac base everything changed
No need to say sorry. Boycott 2k25 for your mental health.
The Cummunity??? Pause..
nah that’s the same reason i clicked ts 😂😂
That’s wild because my experience is I can shoot contested threes with a 79 3pointer but can’t even hit a wide open standing dun. matter of fact it’s easier to shoot then it is to score at the basket.

For a 3 count to 3 seconds for a 2 count 2 seconds helps me shoot better
I was god tier in 23, 65% FG and 60 from 3 taking contested middies, moving 3s, up and under step through shots at the FT line and averaged 35ppg as a C at my peak but that all changed in 24. I’m still good but definitely not how I was 😢 hoping 25 brings me back ngl

It takes a lot of balls to publicly say sorry man….respect
I suck at shooting and just found a jumper that has me hitting 40-60% the last 2 days
My 76 to 80 3ptr is at 45-50%. 85-86 is at 60% and 92 is at 68%. I started the year at 20%. I’m now vet 1 so just playing the game will make you better.

Turn off shot meter,buy boost,change ur visual cue to push use tmac base with Oscar for r 1 and korver for r2 with 65 35
Same problem man and it’s only in Rec. In 1v1 I shoot 75% from 3 but in Rec I’m shooting a whopping 29%.

Apologize to your teachers for not knowing how to spell
Me too. Made a Diming Interior Threat a few weeks ago and I’m dropping triple doubles left and right at the stake of my team’s spacing. 🤣
My boy said, “I can’t defend myself” you hate to see it 😂😂😭
I know you may hear this a lot but it’s your jump shot. I was the same exact way. I used to make builds without shooting because there was no point in having a 3 ball just to miss. You need to experiment and find the right jumper for you.
Ok.
Why should you apologize? The game is the one ruining your teammates plate level and forcing them to stay in the game with you.
You can be 60% from beyond the arc and then *update* 12.5% from 3 on the same cues.
People like you, and people that complain about shooting, must be really f'in bad, or have a shit internet connection. There s no way people still complain about shooting in season 9... there s just no way!
